Chương 20: Fate Eyes ( Edited )

After the party concluded, Elena began her search for Daniel, intending to discuss important matters with him. She questioned several servants, discovering that he was headed toward his sister's room.

She also ventured to Eva's room but found it unoccupied. More curiously, no one seemed to have seen them. Elena activated her divine senses, expanding her awareness throughout a significant portion of the palace, only to realize that they were not inside the premises.

Elena exited the palace and directed her investigation to the courtyard, where she stumbled upon a scene that left her utterly shocked. In the dimly lit courtyard, she witnessed a shocking sight: Daniel engaged in an intimate act with his sister, Eva. Eva was dressed provocatively, uttering explicit words as the two indulged in their affair.

The audacity of their actions shocked Elena, but strangely, it also ignited an uncontrollable arousal within her. She couldn't help but pleasure herself, her hand instinctively moving to her most intimate area.

Daniel's well-endowed physique and the passionate intensity with which he engaged with Eva heightened Elena's arousal. She watched their taboo encounter, pleasuring herself surreptitiously.

When she witnessed Daniel climaxing, covering his sister's body with his seed, her body trembled with shock and disbelief. The act was shameless, yet Elena's thoughts betrayed her as she entertained the idea of Daniel sharing such intimate moments with her, further intensifying her desire.

Overwhelmed by her carnal urges, Elena attempted to suppress these perverted thoughts.

She reminded herself of her marital status and the fact that she had three children. Despite her attempts, the memory of a passionate orgasm lingered.

Suddenly, she felt the gaze of two piercing golden eyes upon her. Fearful of being discovered, she hastily retreated, disregarding her wet undergarments and trembling thighs.

Daniel had been acutely aware of Elena's presence from the start. He was fiercely protective of his family's privacy and took great care to shield them from prying eyes.

He wouldn't allow any man to witness his intimate moments with the women in his life, even barring other women unless they were future harem members.

Elena was undoubtedly a prospective member of Daniel's harem, a fact reinforced by his decision to remain at this location.

During his week-long stay, his goal extended beyond winning Elena's affection; he also aimed to secure the love of Alex Schneitz's mother.

Speaking of the fate child, Daniel had recently uncovered one of the system's abilities during the birthday celebration.

This ability, known as "Fate Eyes," allowed him to glimpse into a person's past and future. However, he understood its limitations; it failed against individuals much more powerful or whose fate exceeded his own.

[Ability Title: Fate Eyes

• Ability: You can see the past and future of your target / keep in mind that if your target is much more powerful than you, you will fail to see their past and future.Meanwhile, if your target is weaker than you, but his/her fate is much greater than yours, you will fail to see his/her future.

It can be used in the third level of the system/You can use this ability once by paying nine fate orders]

Daniel regarded this ability as one of the system's most valuable assets, though he remained cautious about its accuracy, given the possibility of illusions created by the system.

Nonetheless, he was determined to employ this newfound power to investigate Alex Schneitz's past, cross-referencing it with Elena and Jordan's accounts.

As Daniel delved into Alex's past, he witnessed a turbulent history. Alex was born sixteen years and seven months ago, his father being Jordan Schneitz and his mother a maid named Rose.

Born in a stable, his existence was largely ignored by Jordan, who treated him as if he and his mother didn't exist.

Growing up in the stable, Alex's mother, a strikingly beautiful woman, garnered attention from many soldiers, but Jordan ensured that no one approached her.

Despite enduring humiliation and bullying from the noble children of the Schneitz family, Alex remained silent to protect his mother.

His mother continued working as before, although her relationship with Jordan had deteriorated, with him distancing himself from her, even though he didn't terminate her employment.

At the age of thirteen, Alex discovered his unique ability to deduce the probability of luck, an ability that both astonished and bewildered him. Alex conducted numerous experiments, thoroughly mastering his power.

Alex had always harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Schneitz family.

He endured childhood bullying and humiliation, witnessing the hardships his mother faced. He had never entertained the notion of aiding the family; his sole objective was their destruction. However, he recognized the need for assistance in this endeavor, given the presence of powerful ancestors within the Schneitz family who could thwart his efforts.

Thus, Alex clandestinely explored various avenues to destroy the Schneitz family. His plans were intricate and time-consuming, with the first step involving gaining Elena's trust. Alex succeeded in his mission, but he never wavered from his ultimate goal: the annihilation of the Schneitz family.

While Daniel delved into these revelations, he experienced a sudden shock. The person Alex had gone to meet was veiled entirely in a shroud of black fog, an unsettling detail that perturbed Daniel deeply. Despite Daniel's efforts, he couldn't discern the person's face. Strangely, Alex could see the person's face, but Daniel's "Fate Eyes" failed him in this instance. This mysterious encounter left Daniel with a sense of foreboding.

This encounter marked the first time Daniel had experienced such unease since arriving in this world. Even when confronting the fate child or the experts of the magic/sword king realm, he hadn't sensed danger. Yet, when he attempted to peer into the obscured face within the fog, he felt a creeping apprehension.

Although this unease was minimal, his intuition told him that the enshrouded face concealed a perilous secret that could jeopardize his future plans. Since arriving in this world and adapting to his new identity, Daniel had carefully constructed numerous plans. Each of these schemes held the potential to reshape the world and attract the attention of ancient, hidden forces.

To safeguard his ambitions, he had created contingency plans and established a secret organization while seeking control over various influential entities.

The Schneitz family was slated to be the first to fall under the sway of his clandestine organization.

However, his intuition now hinted that the face concealed by the black fog posed a severe threat to his meticulously laid-out plans—an outcome Daniel was determined to avert. Although he was an immigrant in this world, he considered himself a native due to the memories inherited from Daniel Hudson.

His ultimate aspiration mirrored that of the body's previous owner: to ascend as the most potent force, reigning supreme over the world.

In light of this revelation, Daniel posed a direct question: "Who was that person?"

The system, as always, responded in its cold, mechanical tone: "[The system has no response]."

With a sigh, Daniel accepted that he wouldn't obtain direct information from the system. He adopted an indirect approach, questioning further, "Who can elude the gaze of fate?"

The system began to reply, its mechanical voice offering insight into the mystery.
